Publisher Description
New York: Late at night, the rain pouring down, a well-dressed woman in her sixties stands in a doorway, a gun in her purse, waiting for a Senator to come home. Washington, D.C.: The phone rings on the desk of Blake Johnson, head of the White House department known as The Basement. The President wants him now. London: The Prime Minister sits thinking of Sean Dillon, the one-time terrorist, now his most effective, if not exactly trusted, operative. It'll have to be Dillon, he thinks. There's no one else. Someone is killing off the members of a splinter group known as the Sons of Erin, normally not a cause for much concern, but the consequences are much greater than anyone realizes. For in these actions lie the seeds of disaster: the fall of two governments, the derailing of the Irish peace process. Dillon and Johnson must stop this unknown assassin, the heads of state agree, quickly, quietly, before all hell breaks loose... But they may already be too late. For in the Manhattan night, the silver-haired woman smiles, adjusts her rain hat more snugly on her head, and steps out into the street. Four down, she thinks. Three to go.

"The Irish peace process is at risk in this straight-forward thriller. The American President and the English Prime Minister have to stop someone who's been gunning down the Sons of Erin, a terrorist group famous for gunning down others. Yet again, Sean Dillon, that nine-lived devil, does his thing."

" A comfortable international spy story with a refreshing "old lady hero" "
— Ron, 1/12/2013 -
" This was the second Jack Higgins novel I read. This one included another character, Blake Johnson who works for the US President whereas Sean Dillon is an operative for the PM. I enjoy the books, lots of intrique and espionge. The language is tame (only a little and in character) and no sex. "
— Douglas, 9/19/2012 -
" Interesting book. Liked the protagonist. I had a bit of a hard time following some of the characters, though. Maybe its me, but from reading the back cover it looks like some of these same characters have been in earlier books. Maybe I was supposed to understand them from something I hadn't read. "

" Cool. Kept me on the edge of my seat!!!! "

" I love Higgins. I can go into a completely different world - one of espionage, mafia etc. and enjoy every relaxing minute. A good read. "
— Maureen, 3/15/2012 -
" I gave him two chances and this author just did nothing for me. I had his books figured out less than half way through and the rest was just slow painful filler to the obvious conclusion. Not a fan. "

" It was a quick and enjoyable read. I believe I will have to search out more of the Jack Higgins books, because from what I gleened from this tale there are more tales with the same characters, how joyful! Love Sean Dillon, and Blake is great too. "
